In closing ceremony held at the end of Sunday, 21 winners were announced of the 18th edition of the FICA – Festival Internacional de Cinema e vìdeo Ambiental.

The documentary La Supplication, which sensitively recount the tragic stories of the survivors of the greatest environmental catastrophe of the twentieth century – the Chernobyl nuclear accident – was the big winner of Fica 2016. The film director Pol Cruchten, Luxembourg, won the jury’s largest environmental film festival in Latin America and won the Trophy Cora Coralina.
The jury found that the poetic vision of the film transcends the dense rough account of the facts narrated by the film and takes the audience to rethink the development at all costs.

In addition to the Luxembourg film, the other highlight of the award was the documentary Taego Ãwa, by the brothers Marcela and Henry Borela, who won the Public award for the best film (the Trophy Luiz Gonzaga Soares), and the best goiana production (Trophy John Bennio).
In all, 350 films entered in the festival, with 173 of them domestic films. Among them, 22 were chosen by the selection jury and displayed over the Competitive Exhibition of Fica in 2016.

The evening was also a prize-giving for goianos filmmakers who participated in the 14th Mostra ABD Cine Goiás. The highlight of the edition was Jonatasby Getulio Ribeiro. The short film won four awards: best actor, best screenplay, best fiction and best sound.

After the ceremony of the official awards of Fica 2016 were also presented the winners of the project Se Liga no Fica, which held Community audiovisual workshops in eleven schools in Goiás.
